We’ve been excited about The International Spy Museum for a while now. And I’ve been dying to show you all this gorgeous wedding that Rebecca helped plan! It’s bittersweet to share since we don't know when we can again work at this fabulous venue, but as I’ve mentioned previously, my hope is that these looks back at weddings can bring some smiles to faces.

This was one of the first weddings held on this stunning venue’s rooftop and the day turned out perfectly.  After their ceremony at Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle and photos around DC, the reception was held open-air and the sun set behind Stephanie and Brian’s families and friends as they gave wedding toasts.  They really embraced the spy-theme (Bond's Aston Martin was in the lobby, after all) and named their tables after James Bond movies, with the head table titled "Diamonds are Forever".  The cocktail hour in the Spy Museum lobby featured a boxwood covered bar and an escort card wall filled with custom calligraphy marble coasters.  And of course the flowers were spectacular and filled the reception space with color and texture. As their send-off, they took inspiration from Crazy Rich Asians and had firefly lights for our guests to wave as we departed.
